Reloder 17 for 6.5x47 Lapua

[Hawkeye]

Read German's testing of Reloder 17 and was very impressed. I'm mainly going use Scenar 123's and Berger 130's in my 6.5x47L. In the 1000 I wonder if Reloder 17 would be better than Reloder 15? I also wonder will it shorten barrel life? Hotter loads will reduce barrel life, but Reloder 17 has a different burn rate of similar powders.I know it's going to be testing at the range for my rifle. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried it in a similar application to mine? Caliber,bullet wt..etc. I would like to see some load data or testing of Reloder 17 for the 6.5x47 Lapua. All comments appreciated.

It's nice to able to chat with so many knowledgeable people. It's helped me out alot! No matter how much you know, you can always learn something new. Thanks! Randy
